Abstract: This paper analyzes the origins of a terrorist group called the "Islamic State" and the factors that contributed to its transformation into one of the most significant threats to modern civilization.Numbered among the most significant preconditions for the evolution of the "Islamic State" is the US strategy in the Middle East focused on the reformatting of local political space. A significant part of this strategy involved provoking internal political crises through a cycle of color revolutions of the Arab Spring, the displacement of legitimate regimes, the escalation of ethnic and religious strife, supporting, arming, equipping and financing various types of anti-government armed groups. The methodological basis of the research is a systemic, structural and functional, comparative political approaches, methods of analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, observation. Similarly, the strategy is carried out in relation to the countries and the Central Asian region. The aim of this strategy is the creation of the arc of instability in the political space from Morocco to China.All of this eventually contributed to the escalation of the terrorist threat, which Middle Eastern and Central Asian countries ended up forced to deal with.

The authors present mechanisms, synchronizing the actions of the opposition and the mechanism of the insurrection in general. The authors suppose that the events in Ukraine are caused by both the internal processes and the active direct intervention of foreign states. The insurrection in Ukraine, which removed the President V.F. Yanukovych on February 22, 2014, once again showed the interest of the USA and its European allies in control over Kyiv. The methodology of the article includes comparative, structural-functional, systemic, cultural civilization approaches, methods of induction and deduction, analysis, synthesis, observation, historicism, noo-vitism. The insurrection in Ukraine 2014 uncovered the following matter: the redistribution of influence zones in the post-Soviet territory entered its decisive stage. Inclusion of Crimea and Sevastopol into the Russian Federation after the national referendum, which took place on March 16, 2014, is just the beginning of long and difficult path for Russia, which it takes to get outside of historical nothingness, caused by the destruction of the Soviet Union.

Abstract: Attention of the entire global community is drawn to Ukraine and the ongoing events in Ukraine are important for all of the Russians, since Russia and Ukraine share historical and cultural unity, as well as family ties. The lawlessness which takes place there is outside the scope of understanding of a normal adequate person: there is derogation and persecution of militia officers and their family members, bloody provocations arranged by the “Right Sector” hitmen in the South-East of Ukraine. All of the above causes deep concern among the people and the leaders of Russia. Another reason for unease is an insurrection in the fraternal country, which was actively supported by the so-called “democratic” states: the EU Member States and the USA. The statement of the USA that pro-fascist organizations played a “constructive role” in this bloody bacchanalia makes one think of the organizers and sponsors of these special operations. In this respect analysis of specific features of the armed insurrection, factors, which have guaranteed the government takeover, as well forecasts for the future development of the situation in the state become especially topical.
